Flappy 1,591 Posted December 15, 2017 (edited) Local with Ged based in Middlesbrough and the promotors license will come in handy........ Does he have good rider connections? Edited December 15, 2017 by Flappy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know the guy, but highly impressed with factual explanations on here and knowledgeable rule explanations. Wish him well, and he will be a good right hand man to Ged even if it's just to remind him of the rules. Impressive? Have you seen his speedway CV? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, just asking him not to help fook our club up again. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

More worrying is that given the circumstances Plummer has labelled Ged with the mad brush again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flappy 1,591 Posted December 16, 2017 So there is a plan to this team? Wow it just seems like a scattergun approach signing mates to me. Hope to be proved wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pinny 2,536 Posted December 16, 2017 Jesus christ, and Peterborough fans thought it couldnt get any worse! why on earth would any forward thinking promotion want this guy involved in their club? He, along with horton, has driven several clubs into the ground . Shocking news for pboro fans 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He, along with horton, has driven several clubs into the ground . Shocking news for pboro fans The shocking news would have been if Panthers were not running. If you read what he's been brought in for then it makes perfect sense tbh. Rathbone still calls the shots and I'm sure that Neil will do a good job away from Supremo Horton. Given that Rathbone will be treading on eggshells with our lords and masters during 2018 I'd say that bringing in someone who seems to understand the rules and other issues as much as Neil is a smart move? Rathbone will no doubt listen to Neil and take his advice on board. I don't get the impression that that was one of Horton's strengths. Apologies for a positive post, I'll go and lie down for a bit!
